PLEASE help with this machine

[PaleoJohn]

I have been trying a machine that looks like a pregnant Stealth or swiss machine. I would like to know if this has a name, who makes and especially what voltages it likes for shading and color. I watched some artists using it with great results in FL and picked one up.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I should have stated. My machine looks exactly like the one pictured but has a T-type Vise screw. Must be a slightly earlier version.

They are made in china-who knows who started the first one- They put something out & all the other china companys copy it. I heard they do run better then the copys of the steath/swiss thoe.

if i remember correctly theyre called bulldog saw them on ebay.co.uk its a Chineses Swiss knockoff wonder why it should be better than the other ones?

[slicksteel]

jay on here had one and said it ran better then the original stealth (which he had several of).

They claim they are made from imported swiss parts. Could be just advertizing hype. I was told to run these at 10 volts for colorand and 13 volts for shading. Seems way too much. Was hoping someone had real numbers.

Not sure what the big deal is. these are all over the chinese factories. you can pick em up for like 20 bucks.

No attempt at making a big deal out of it. Just trying to find out what it is and some voltages.

They would definately not been able to sell the machine at such a low price if they would Swiss imported parts...

$20 doesn't even cover the Swiss bearings
